I do not agree with Mr john Humphrey comments on the text I-H8-TXT-MSG
Mr John Humphrey believes that the way kids speak is getting worse because of technology, another thing is spell-check which means that the vocabulary won’t be good when it comes to the person a What I am getting from the text is that the writer John Humphrey dislikes the use of abbreviation in modern time such as when he says “the spell-check(sorry: spellcheck)”.
But later on in the text he says how The Oxford English Dictionaries is ditches the hyphen, but then later on in the text he uses an abbreviation the OED which means that he does not always hate the use of abbreviations just that he just hates the way that kids of today abuse the use of it.
What I think that John Humphrey is trying to get at is that people misuse technology and how they don’t want to do anything for them selves cause technology will be able to do it for them all cause technology is advancing and minute by minute peoples vocabulary is decapitating due to technology that is used in the 21st century. I think that people do not abuse the use of technology they just use it to the limit to see how they can make it much better for people for their everyday use. what I think that Mr John Humphrey it try to get, is that the more people abuse there technology is the more that there mentality will be not as good as if they were doing things such if a person does not know how to spell a work they will depend on technology t do things for them so that they will not have to do it for there selves in the futre.

Corey,
1) You must re-read and edit your sentence structures – where should your full stops be? Why?
2) Always re-read and edit spelling
3) Each paragraph should make it clear to your reader which part of Humphrys’ article that you are responding to – take a quotation from the article and explore how language, grammar and figurative language have been used to enhance meanings (or not?)

Hello Corey,
This is much more developed – but there is still some way to go. Each paragraph should tell us exactly which point you are responding to from Humphry’s original article.
One way to do this is to select clear quotations from the article to respond to and introduce the quote. What is Humphry’s argument at this point? Why have you chosen to respond to it?

Hello Corey,
Please refer back to my previous target for you. It is much clearer that you have fully read the article and are now responding to the main arguments – please use clear quotations from the text.
Finally, look at your structure – how can you make the organisation of your ideas clearer to your reader?
